Editors' Review

Revo Uninstaller adds some serious power to uninstalling programs, but not a lot of speed. It certainly runs circles around the default option in Windows. However, it's not the most convenient way to kick programs off of your hard drive. It tucks many of the best features behind a paywall, too.

Revo Uninstaller comes with the free trial, which lacks some of the high-end features of the pro version. Though it can delete some registry errors that usually come with deleting programs, it doesn't remove all of them. To do that, you need to upgrade or use a different program. Upgrading doesn't add any speed to this download, which is something it's sorely missing. It makes you wait until one program is finished to start uninstalling another. It's even more annoying since you have to go through each individual program's built-in uninstall process, too. Choosing programs to uninstall is easy and fast, though, thanks to the program's icon-oriented menu. There are plenty of options to tweak your uninstalls. You can choose from options that include a light uninstall or a deep cleaning that rips all traces of the program off of your hard drive. There's even a really neat "hunting" mode that lets you uninstall programs or kill tasks without fully loading the program.

Revo Uninstaller seems to be a very interesting mix of registry-cleaning and uninstall programs. Luckily, it does both of those actions well enough to earn a passing grade. If you really like the program, you might want to upgrade to the pro version. It's fairly priced and adds some essential features that aren't available in the free version.

Publisher's Description

Revo Uninstaller is an innovative uninstaller. With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller scans before and after you uninstall an application. After the program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that are usually left over on your computer. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application's data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry items so you can delete them.

If you love having your browser and searches hijacked, you will love this! My last review (and others)only lasted one day, so I guess Cnet pulls negative reviews and only keeps the glowing ones. Dishonest at best as to actual user reviews of this corrupted download. So good luck as you will have NO option not to get the crap with it!

I've used this for years, first on XP and now on Win7. I have had no problems at all, and plan to use this for as long as I can. The only problem for Revo is: I can't understand why I would want to upgrade to the "Pro" version. (Although come to think of it, I think I will, as a reward for creating a great free program that I've used many times.)

This was a fantastic program when i had Vista. It kept my computer in great shape

Cons

Now that I have Windows 8 it won't work, get hung up all the time. I wish they would fix these issues for us Windows 8 users. Wish I knew what other program would work as good on windows 8. Any Ideas, out there, if so let me know. I'd really appreciate your help!

Summary

All in all I love Revo, just can't get it to work for windows 8. Otherwise you couldn't find a better program.

Thank you for your comment on our product. This problem may be related to the lack of full support to the 64 bit Windows versions. You can try one option - right mouse click on the executable file of Revo Uninstaller -> Properties -> Compatibility -> put a check mark on ''Run this program in compatibility mode for:'' option and from the box select ''Widows 7''. Then confirm with ''OK'' button.
